Now that the energy was there for the hulking silver beast to mess with, it would take a few moments for the few draconic projectiles that Ro had managed to catch to suddenly be sent hurtling toward the Hydreigon.

At the same time, with the speed boost still in play, the blur of silver approached with full intent on knocking the Hydreigon upside the head(s) with a boosted Bullet Punch.

But Lars had a feeling this wasn’t going to be enough…

Considering what the Hydreigon was up to? He had an inkling something big was coming.

So, that's what he was planning! The Hydreigon was completely blindsided by the lightning fast Bullet Punch that included some of the Draco Meteor debris. Hoisted by his own petard, the prideful dragon fell to the ground with earth-shattering impact, his body bruised heavily.

"C-Chomper, no!"

Moved by his trainer's distraught cries, Chomper willed his battered form up with great difficulty, shaking debris off his back. He winced in pain, looking back at her... That distraught look did not suit her. She looked much prettier when she smiled. He WOULD make her smile again!

Andrea's Z-Ring suddenly radiated with power. "Chomper... You can still fight?!" Her partner nodded at her, and she nodded back. "Alright, but this will probably be our last move, so let's put our all into it! BLACK HOLE ECLIPSE!" The young woman shouted at the top of her lungs.

The Hydreigon's body was enveloped in golden energy. A massive orb of swirling darkness was fired above Ro, swallowing up the leftover debris and even the Mega Metagross itself with its obscenely high gravitational pull. The black mass shrunk momentarily, before exploding with overwhelming physicality.

You know that big thing Lars had an inkling about, that was coming?

Apparently this was the big thing itself! He watched quietly, his eyebrows betraying his surprise as they went up watching the Hydreigon rise from where he’d fallen before several things happened all at once—

Another burst of light—only this time golden, coming from the Hydreigon, exploded outward. Lars’s mind went a thousand miles an hour, because—there was no Hydreigonite that existed, right?! Unless he’d missed the memo somewhere?

Instead of a Mega Evolution, though, the power that radiated from the dual-type was very similar to the snarky Mirage’s ‘panic button’ (the Z-Move of which he unironically picked the name) and he realized what was going to happen the moment the silver beast was swallowed by the inky black orb.

“So that was what you were planning all along too?!” he exclaimed from his side of the arena, throwing up his hands at the sheer force of the attack—mostly when he did his own Z-Move he was usually either in the air close to the Iceborne Mirage or riding said Mirage himself!

He could hear the grating noise from somewhere deep within—and for the first time, he felt the strain of holding the Mega-evolved form as the attack came crashing down—

“Ro, what are you doing?!” he shouted as the Metagross literally came riding down with the attack itself, a last-ditch attempt at a sideswiping Meteor Mash from within, a desperate attempt to strike the Hydreigon…

"What a tremendous Z-Move from Chonker! You'll only see it here, folks!"

"His name is Chomper!" Andrea politely corrected the announcer, her lips curving into a bright smile. "His name is Chomper and I love him!"

That smile was all he needed to see... Chomper considered his job done, but his worthy rival had one last hurrah to give, charging at him with a last-ditch Meteor Mash. The three-headed dragon met Ro's metallic fist with one last Crunch, ol' reliable.

If PP was even a thing in this setting, he was definitely running out of it by now.

He had to bite back a bark of laughter as the announcer got her Hydreigon’s name wrong—the desperation tactic had clearly backfired on him as he could feel the back of his head starting to hurt.

Adding onto the surprise attack by Chomper—the last-second desperation Crunch was what sealed the deal. While the hulking silver beast did not collapse backwards, but ended up folding under the force of the impact from the Z-move earlier.

He… should really look into changing his old reliable’s move set after this.

Pulling out the scuffed Heavy Ball, he recalled the Metagross.

“Congrats!” he called out from his side of the arena.

The audience had gone so silent that one could hear a pin drop in the middle of the arena... or in this case a giant hunk of metal. The Metagross fell, and the crowd went wild, a standing ovation given in honor of the victor.

"And Andrea Vaneau is the winner! What an incredible performance from both trainers! Only the League can produce talent like that!"

"Yay! We did it, Chomper!" The trainer of dragons ran up to her lifelong partner and gave him a big, emotional hug, the Hydreigon's three heads vying for her affection. She made sure to give them all pets and forehead kisses like they deserved. For Chomper, that was an even greater reward than the crowd's approval. Being the people's champ for a day was nice, but he much preferred being Andrea's champ for life.

Following the tender moment between a girl and her dragon, Lars congratulated the tight-knit duo. "Thanks, Mr. Lars! You and Ro were amazing too!" Andrea replied, walking up to the head ranger and offering her hand for a shake. "Although the next time we battle, we could do with a little less people." She jested, still alienated by the highly publicized nature of this event.

At the mention of there being too many people, he gave her a wry, knowing grin.

“Hard same,” he said quietly, before giving the becostumed young woman a friendly noogie.

“You know that this is just the end of the first chapter of their rivalry,” he went on with another knowing smirk. “Ro will come back, stronger than ever. You can bet on it.”

While he knew that this was supposed to be promoting the reputation of the AQUA initiative, he didn’t mind taking an L every once in a while.

Not everyone was an infallible battler after all.
